CHAPTER 6 - Treaties <strong>and</strong> Treason<br />

I say <strong>the</strong> same as to <strong>the</strong> opinion of those who consider <strong>the</strong> grant of <strong>the</strong> treaty-making power<br />

as boundless. If it is, <strong>the</strong>n we have no Constitution.1<br />

— Thomas Jefferson, September 1803<br />

Treaties make international law <strong>and</strong> also <strong>the</strong>y make domestic law. Under our Constitution,<br />

treaties become <strong>the</strong> supreme law of <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong>.... [T]reaty law can override <strong>the</strong> Constitution.<br />

Treaties, for example, ... can cut across <strong>the</strong> rights given <strong>the</strong> people by <strong>the</strong>ir constitutional<br />

Bill of Rights.2<br />

[A]fter all, <strong>the</strong> UN Charter is <strong>the</strong> law of <strong>the</strong> l<strong>and</strong>....3<br />

— Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, April 11, 1952<br />

— George L. Sherry (CFR), <strong>The</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> Reborn, 1990<br />

<strong>The</strong> main political obstacle to <strong>the</strong> new world order envisioned by <strong>the</strong> one-world schemers has been, <strong>and</strong><br />

remains, <strong>the</strong> Constitution of <strong>the</strong> <strong>United</strong> States of America. Unique in both its foundational principles <strong>and</strong><br />

structure, <strong>the</strong> constitutional system established by America’s Founding Fa<strong>the</strong>rs — abused though it may<br />

be by decades of sustained assault on <strong>the</strong> one h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> neglect on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r — continues to stymie <strong>the</strong><br />

architects of totalitarian global government.<br />

From <strong>the</strong>ir own experience, <strong>and</strong> from an acquaintance with history, <strong>the</strong> Americans of 1776 <strong>and</strong> 1787<br />

well understood that <strong>the</strong> dangers to liberty from an unrestrained government were, more often than not,<br />

far greater than <strong>the</strong> threat of tyranny from a conquering foreign power. <strong>The</strong> limitations placed on<br />

government by <strong>the</strong> designers of our founding document, <strong>the</strong>refore, served as formidable bulwarks<br />

against <strong>the</strong> dangerous centralization of power in <strong>the</strong> national government; those limitations also rendered<br />

any transfers of constitutional powers of governance to an international government virtually<br />

impossible.<br />

One of 20th century America’s most passionate defenders of liberty against <strong>the</strong> encroachments of<br />

omnipotent government was Frank Chodorov, editor of <strong>The</strong> Freeman. Writing in 1955, in a special issue<br />

devoted to exposing <strong>and</strong> opposing "One Worldism <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong>," he noted:<br />

Government is <strong>the</strong> monopoly of coercion. Its function is to prevent individuals from using<br />

violence or o<strong>the</strong>r coercive methods on one ano<strong>the</strong>r, so that <strong>the</strong> business of Society — <strong>the</strong><br />

exchange of goods, services <strong>and</strong> ideas — may be carried on in safety <strong>and</strong> tranquility. Its<br />

contribution to social progress, though necessary, is purely negative. In this country,<br />

tradition <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Constitution hold that <strong>the</strong> function of government is to protect <strong>the</strong><br />

individual in <strong>the</strong> enjoyment of those rights which inhere in him by virtue of existence, <strong>and</strong><br />

which are <strong>the</strong> gifts of <strong>the</strong> Creator. And in <strong>the</strong> beginning, before tradition <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> spirit of <strong>the</strong><br />

Constitution were perverted, Americans took for granted that government had no o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

competence.4<br />

"But <strong>the</strong> hard fact," said Chodorov, "is that this monopoly of coercion is vested in humans — of which<br />

government is necessarily composed — <strong>and</strong> that <strong>the</strong>se humans are no different in make-up from those<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are called upon to coerce."5 That is indeed a hard fact that no amount of wishful thinking or highflown<br />

rhetoric about global bro<strong>the</strong>rhood can change. It was <strong>the</strong> recognition of just such hard realities as
